I used to get so excited about the new books, and I would pre-order them months ahead of time. This time I completely forgot, because book 10 was just that bad. I'm tempted to order it, but I'm scared. I used to get through one of those books in a day, but the last one took me a month.

I'm just getting to the end of book 2, and I'm enjoying them so far. I still feel like I'm getting a lot of buildup and meeting new characters who will be important later. In fact, I think I'm going to go read some of it now instead of studying!

i read up to book 9 and then started getting burnt out. the story is fun and is a super quick read but i really get sick of all the damn re-caps! i tried to get onto the 10th book but just couldn't, i guess it wasn't just me though. hope the 11th is good for those who are gonna read it!

I am so glad you tweeted about book 11, Dead Reckoning, because I had totally forgotten about it! The Kindle version will be delivered May 3 which is great because sometimes the Kindle version is released a week later but not for this book.

I don't remember anything from book 10, it's still in a box somewhere at home, I need to find it tonight.

i didn't mind 10... certainly not the best of the series, by a long shot, but i thought it was alright.

i'm super psyched to pick up the new one tomorrow, but i'll probably save it for road trip reading. and also i have a few book out from the library at the moment, so i'll need to read them first and get them back over there before i leave.

I'm only up to 9. I was waiting for a used copy to become available or to go home to borrow from my sister. I saw that 11 was coming out and decided I need to hurry up on that.I've been lost in Stephanie Plum books...totally useless books of fun.

Mine is in the mail too! I can't wait! I also didn't mind 10. It was NOT book 4, but enjoyable enough. I'm excited for it.

I don't think book 4 can ever be topped.

Appi - I also quite like the Harper Connelly books. I read her first (I think) book a few months ago - it was quite raw and ... innocent (writing about a small town in the South in the early 80s, it makes sense), but you could get a sense of her style. She's definitely developed in a lot of ways (as a writer and as a feminist, whether or not she calls herself that) since Sweet and Deadly. But I think I like her writing mostly because everything's set in the South, so it has a familiar, homey feeling to it.

uh-oh not a good idea to get me on another series. I'm addicted to series books.

I'm totally with you on my favorite Sookie books.

i think everyone has the same fav :)

for series, i love the cassandra clare mortal instruments and infernal devices series (they're linked) and carrie ryan's forest of hands and teeth trilogy. i'm starting the beautiful creatures series too.

i've read about a chapter of DR so far. i think so far it's better than 10, but you know, fingers crossed.
